Spaces
Outdoor spaces are increasingly recognized as critical to providing flexible support for socialization, creativity, collaboration and employee wellness. Pairing open-air environments with the right mix of furniture connects people to their environment and positively impacts their wellbeing through natural light and fresh air.
Gather Together
Under a Canopy
Tall tables and seating paired with technology integration offer a refreshing horizon, where small- to medium-sized groups can gather around for presentations and brainstorms. An adjacent lounge area outside of the shade-providing central overhang creates an open-air space where employees can listen in nearby, or take a moment of solitude while they work or lounge.

Inherently multi-functional by design, the café cleverly delineates both dining and lounge spaces along its perimeter by incorporating greenery.

Make the most of indoor-outdoor design by incorporating flexible and reconfigurable furniture that is easily moved.

The Iquo Café Collection
Designer Ini Archibong’s West African heritage energizes Knoll’s modern design legacy in this corresponding set of tables and chairs. The collection—which provides a place to gather both indoors and out in hospitality spaces, offices, and on campus—is named after three generations of Archibong women who share the name Iquo, and it embraces the moniker’s feminine spirit in balancing elegant curvature with strength and durability.
